Hi Will, thank you for replying. I have made a solution where the action of the button is handled by a VBA-routine. Here the text is taken from a "label database" where I have the label in different languages. As this solution is consistent with what I use in iFix and WinCC I chose to do it this way ...

Hi Art, thank you for the suggestion. But - I have now made a small routine that reads settings from a txt-file. If the txt-file is in a specific folder - then it is read. That requires no update after an apa-installation. Jake ------------------------------ Jake104E ------------------------ ...

Hi Jon, this sounds like a good solution - and in fact it is primarily just one display - a very "busy" P&ID-picture where I use the global objects. But - how exactly do I export the display to XML? I cant find anything in the menus... or am I missing something? Jake ------------------------------ ...

All my project are basically "the same" - and they use the same general VBA code which I have in a header picture. The VBA routines in the header can be called from other pictures if they have a small routine that links to the header picture. Had there been a facility to have a general VBA-module, ...

I have a certain button functionality where a number of buttons share the same behavior but based on specific bits. I can make a global object where these bits are passed as parameter values. BUT - the button text should also be a parameter value. How is that done? And how does that then work ...

For historic reasons I have a large amount of global objects. Many of them are not used in my recent project - and will not be used in the future. I would therefore like to "clean up", but don't want to delete to many. I guess I can just add them again if I need to - but it would be nice to only ...

Hi Fuzzy, thanks - that will work. It is a little "complicated" (yet simple though) and as I have two "polygons" I'll need it all twice. It is on a "busy screen", so I am not in favor of extra hidden fields... It is for a password entry - and it is to call up a keyboard. I may just add a visible ...

Hi Philip, thank you. If I can avoid ActiveX I'm all for that. But I am not sure how to understand your example... can you walk me through - as if I don't know how a latched button works...? I can see that for the LatchPushButton I can select "Elipse"-shape - but other than that I don't follow ...
